10 Minute Craft Dash #1

I am so thrilled to have you here and I hope that you’ll be able to join us for this fun {and quick} challenge. My good friend, Ginny and I come up with a concept that we are really excited about and haven’t seen {in our blog circle} thus far. The challenge? Coming up with a crafty project within 10 minutes.

I know that I struggle with creating projects quickly {I’m a slow crafter}, so this actually IS a challenge for me. While some may find this to be easy, I know quite a few of us will struggle with this short amount of time. That’s the beauty of a CHALLENGE, right?

We will be doing this challenge twice a month (on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month) and boy, do we have some fun color palettes planned! Since it may take a little while to get used to crafting on a time restraint, our first challenge is a “free for all”, so you can use any colors your heart desires!

Here is what I created for this challenge. One layer is the way to go for quick & easy cards!

To kick start this first challenge, I am thrilled to have some very special names joining us. These are some of the sweetest, most talented ladies on blog land. Be sure to visit each of their blogs to see their stunning 10 Minute Card Dash creations.

If I’m being honest, I’m actually a super slow crafter too! This was definitely a challenge for me, but I was super surprised with how much I accomplished in such a short time. I can’t wait to see what you make! :)

I saw your challenge on Amy’s blog this morning! What a unique idea for a challenge (those are hard to come by in blogland what with all the challenge blog out there!) Kudos to you & Ginni for coming up with it! Hope to get to it this morning!

nuts! 10mins? i took 2 hrs on Monday to make a card; i dont know where my head is… but after watching those 100m and 200m events in the Olympics, anything is possible! i do love your cards and i think it’s a fabby idea (also new concept to me) great way to think outside of the box, Paulina! i’ll be sure to give it a try…

Thanks for having me play along Paulina! It was fun and challenging (because I’m typically slow) And it was probably the perfect thing to kick start some creativity after the long in depth project I recently finished. :)
